By Matt KellyGUEST OPINIONThe public was first made aware of the possibility of data centers in Celebrate VA when Mayor Devine added the topic to the July 9, 2024 Council agenda, giving the public no prior notice that the topic was to be discussed. Well before that announcement, council members had toured data centers in February, two at a time, to avoid public notice. Also, prior to the July 9th meeting the City Manager initiated discussion with a developer to provide land for data centers.
